The Andaman and Nicobar Islands' Coastal protection in Light of nearshore Environmental Production K. Rajesh, P. Kurinjinathan, V. Thayanithi, P. Arularasan, K. Gayathri Disaster Advances, 2026 The Andaman and Nicobar Islands experienced catastrophic damage from the December 2004 tsunami, resulting in significant loss of human life, biodiversity and mangrove ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the coastline changes around the Andaman Islands from 1990 to 2020, leveraging recent advancements in remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), a pivotal GIS tool, was utilized to calculate the rate of shoreline change in meters per year. The study integrated high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced geospatial techniques to accurately track and analyze shoreline dynamics. Inputs for DSAS included merged shorelines and a defined baseline, from which transects were systematically constructed to intersect the shorelines, allowing for precise rate calculations at each intersection point. The result revealed the most alarming rate of erosion, indicating that Rutland island experienced the highest erosion rates, with the western side showing extreme erosion rates of -41.73 m/year and -51.18 m/year as determined by the End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) methods. Additionally, several islands in Andaman region underwent considerable shoreline retreat, showing a direct threat to coastal settlements, marine life and local civilizations. These findings highlight the severe impact of natural disasters on coastal regions and underscore the importance of advanced geospatial tools in coastal management, guiding disaster resilience planning and fostering ecosystem restoration effort to safeguard the coastal environment of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Also, this study recommends enhancing existing methodology by incorporating AI and machine learning- based shoreline detection techniques for a modern approach.

High-Performance Porous Carbon Electrodes from Tea Residues: A Sustainable Approach for Advanced Supercapacitors C. Rajasekar, P. Kurinji Nathan, M. Roselin Ranjitha, S. Raghu, R.A. Kalaivani Asian Journal of Chemistry, 2025 Carbon electrodes sourced through biomass for application in supercapacitors are currently a significant focus in the development of energy storage devices that prioritize efficiency, environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness. This investigation highlights a potential avenue for tea residues, concentrating on the conversion of waste to useful resources. Tea residues served as a raw material to produce activated carbon via a simple single-step process, aimed at creating highly efficient electrode material for supercapacitors. The samples were subjected to chemical activation using ZnCl2 at two different temperatures (800 and 900 ºC). Surface area of the two TRAC samples were analyzed using BET technique and noted as 940.14 m2/g and 1158.06 m2/g. The electrochemical investigation was specifically carried out in both aqueous (6 M KOH) and non-aqueous (TEABF4) environments. The TRAC 900 electrode exhibited an impressive specific capacitance of 395.42 F g–1 at 1 A g–1 and displayed exceptional cycling stability, maintaining 96.66% of its capacitance after 16,000 cycles in a non-aqueous environment. Furthermore, the peak power density attained was around 63,000 W kg–1 at an energy density of 35 Wh g–1 when subjected to a higher current density of 10 A g–1. The impressive electrochemical performance suggests that the highly ordered porous carbon electrodes derived from used-tea solid waste represent a promising option for high-performance supercapacitors and exemplify the idea of converting waste into valuable resources.
Spectral Analysis and Biological Evaluation of 3,5-Dimethyl-1-[2-(1-methyltetrazol-5-yl)-sulfanylacetyl]-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one: Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface, Antimicrobial Activity and Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibition M.V. Muppuli, K. Rajesh, K. Anandan, P. Devendran, P. Kurinjinathan, A. Mani Asian Journal of Chemistry, 2025 A single crystal of 3,5-dimethyl-1-[2-(1-methyltetrazol-5-yl)sulfanylacetyl]-2,6-diphenyl-piperidin-4-one (DMTSDPO) has been synthesized and extensively characterized using analytical techniques, which involves 1H NMR, infrared, mass spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD). DMTSDPO is a triclinic crystal system with P-1 space group, with cell dimensions a = 13.301(3) Å; b = 17.687(4) Å; c = 20.615(4) Å and α = 89.928(10)º; β = 89.760(11)º; γ = 72.648(10)º, V = 4628.7(16) and Z = 8. The molecular structure was identified through conservative method and refined with SHELXL-97, which produced a final R-value of 0.0446. The Hirshfeld surface evaluation has been employed to determine the power of interactions involving hydrogen bonds between molecular pairs, revealing predominant contributions from H···H and N···H intermolecular contacts. The derivatives were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial assays against bacterial and fungal strains, with DMTSDPO exhibiting significant activity against E. coli. The elusive mechanism of action for piperidine derivatives prompted a molecular docking study, shedding light on the active site region, binding modes and interactions of active site residues with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4). This investigation contributes to a detailed understanding of the compounds mechanism of action and holds promise for the design of novel, potent drug molecules.

Kurinjinathan, Selvakumari Jeyaperumal, Venkatesan Perumal, R. M. Saravana Kumar, Lakshmanan Govindan Micro, 2023 In this research article we report the potentials of chitin-based silver nanoparticles (chitin AgNPs) derived from Indian mimic goatfish (Mulloidichthys ayliffe) scales as an effective food preservation agent. The study comprehensively presents the multifaceted attributes of chitin AgNPs, including their synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial properties. Chitin yield from M. ayliffe scales and three-spot swimming crab (P. sanguinolentus) exoskeleton was determined, with the insoluble content quantified. FTIR analysis unveiled distinct absorption peaks for chitin, and scanning electron microscopy revealed the ultrastructure of chitin from both the sources. Using UV–visible spectroscopy, the biosynthesis of AgNPs was accomplished and characterized, with the color shift of the solution serving as proof of a successful synthesis. UV–vis spectra provided insights into nanoparticle size and shape. SEM micrographs exhibited spherical particle morphology, while FTIR spectra indicated amino group interactions contributing to AgNP stabilization. The antimicrobial potential of chitin AgNPs was assessed against the food pathogen, Vibrio spp. Chitin films displayed significant antimicrobial activity, particularly AgNP-synthesized chitin from M. ayliffe scales, demonstrated the highest Vibrio spp. inhibition activity. Furthermore, chitin AgNPs were incorporated into the common chili, Capsicum annuum and the tomato, Solanum lycopersicum to extend their shelf life at room temperature. This study reveals the efficacy of chitin AgNPs from M. ayliffe scales as potent agents for food preservation, offering insights into their physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial attributes. The application of chitin AgNPs to perishable food items highlights their potential in enhancing shelf life and quality, opening innovative avenues for sustainable food preservation.
